The Manchester Angel - Traditional English Songs by Ewan MacColl With Peggy Seeger, released on Topic Records in 1966.

Sleeve Notes

Ewan MacColl is Britain's foremost singer of folk songs, as properly distinct from 'folksinger' however one understands the term. Many people associate him chiefly with Scottish songs and modem author-made pieces 'in the folk manner', but in fact his skill and the quality of his imagination are particularly apt also for interpreting the traditional songs of the English countryside. The psychological climate of English song is fairly different from that of Scots song, and the feel of modern 'folk-based' compositions is different again; moreover each has its own suiting ways of performance. We have no other singer who can so successfully move from one climate and style to another.
